Advanced Functional Cardiovascular Care for Atlanta
Led by a board-certified physician Dr. Mildred Opondo, with a decade of experience in Cardiology, Cardiac Electrophysiology, and a recipient of NIH-funding for Cardiovascular research. We address the root-cause drivers of cardiovascular disease through an exclusive, concierge partnership.
Our Unique Approach
Beyond Guidelines: Toward Durable Healing
Guideline directed cardiovascular care is essential. In chronic disease, durable improvement often requires a deeper, systems based investigation into physiologic drivers of risk and progression. This Atlanta based practice integrates evidence based cardiovascular care with functional principles to address metabolic, inflammatory, and autonomic contributors of heart rhythm instability, blood pressure control, cardiovascular risk and disease progression.
Direct Access
A one-on-one partnership with your physician.
Extended Visits
60 minute appointments, never rushed.
Systems-Based Investigation
Identifying the why behind your cardiovascular health.

Our Founder
Meet the Physician
Hello, I am Dr. Mildred Opondo. Welcome to a partnership where advanced cardiovascular science meets deeply personalized care. I founded this Atlanta practice to offer you the time, the investigation, and the root-cause focus approach that complex cardiovascular care often requires.
Clinical Foundation
Board-certified in Internal Medicine with a fellowship in Cardiology from Stanford University and advanced fellowship training in Cardiac Electrophysiology from Loyola University Medical Center. Over a decade of experience caring for patients with atrial fibrillation, chronic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and complex cardiometabolic illness across inpatient and outpatient settings.
Research Driven
NIH funded postdoctoral research training in cardiovascular physiology and a published author in peer reviewed medical literature.
A Root-Cause Approach
Integrates evidence based cardiovascular care with functional principles to evaluate metabolic, inflammatory, and autonomic contributors that shape cardiovascular risk and symptoms. Care is designed to restore physiologic balance and support patients as active participants in their care.
Heart Health Transformation™ Framework
Developer of this evidence-informed model addressing cardiovascular health across the continuum of risk and disease by targeting key cardiometabolic, inflammatory, autonomic, and lifestyle drivers.
Clinical areas of focus
Advanced Evidence-based Investigation for Complex Cardiovascular Health
Atrial Fibrillation Prevention & Rhythm Stability
Who This Is For: Individuals seeking to move beyond symptom management to address the root metabolic and autonomic triggers of their heart rhythm.
Blood Pressure and Autonomic Regulation
Who This Is For: Individuals experiencing high blood pressure or blood pressure instability, who require a deeper investigation into the autonomic nervous system regulation.
Chronic Cardiovascular Disease & Heart Failure Support
Who This Is For: Individuals managing long term cardiovascular disease or heart failure who want a comprehensive, systems based strategy to optimize function, reduce symptom burden, and support long term stability.
Complex Cardiometabolic & Inflammatory Conditions
Who This Is For: Individuals with insulin resistance or systemic inflammation who need a targeted plan to mitigate the physiologic drivers of cardiovascular disease.
Executive Cardiovascular Prevention and Longevity
Who This Is For: Busy professionals and high responsibility individuals who want physician led cardiovascular prevention that accounts for stress load, sleep and recovery, travel demands, and autonomic physiology, with a discreet longitudinal approach to protecting rhythm stability, blood pressure control and cardiometabolic resilience.
Frequently asked questions
Navigating Your Care
How is it different from traditional cardiology?
This practice combines evidence based cardiovascular care with a concierge, root cause functional approach. Care prioritizes time, systems based investigation, and targeted strategies that address physiologic drivers of risk and symptoms
Do you take insurance?
This practice does not participate in insurance panels. The concierge model supports an unhurried physician patient relationship and reduces third party constraints.
Can I still see my other doctors?
Yes. Dr. Opondo welcomes collaboration with your established clinicians, and with your authorization, care coordination can be incorporated.
What can I expect during my initial Discovery Call?
This is a brief introductory conversation to confirm goals, explain the model of care, and determine fit. If appropriate, next steps are provided after the call.
What happens after the Discovery Call?
If both sides agree to proceed, an extended Deep Dive consultation is scheduled. Prior to the visit, available records may be reviewed and when appropriate, specific diagnostics may be recommended to support a focused evaluation and personalized plan.
How much time and direct access will I have with you as my physician?
Initial consultations are extended, typically 60 to 90 minutes. Communication channels and response expectations are defined in the patient agreement to support reliable follow through.
What is the investment for your concierge care?
This is a limited panel concierge practice designed to provide extensive time and longitudinal support. Investment details are reviewed during the introductory call.
Do you only treat complex conditions or can you help with prevention?
Prevention is a core part of this practice. The approach focuses on early risk driver identification and a targeted plan that strengthens cardiometabolic resilience.
